Pharaohs of Egypt: from Narmer to Cleopatra

With Sarah Griffiths

Join Sarah Griffiths as she explores the reigns of Egypt’s famous and not-so-famous Pharaohs, building a complete timeline of pharaonic Egyptian history. From the Predynastic to the Ptolemaic periods, discover Egypt’s earliest kings such as Narmer, the great pyramid builders of the Old Kingdom and the warrior kings of the Middle Kingdom. Investigate the founding of the New Kingdom ruled by Egypt’s best known kings (and queens) including Thutmose III the “Napoleon of Egypt”, Hatshepsut the female king, Egypt’s sun king Amenhotep III, Akhenaten and Tutankhamun, the monumental builder Ramesses “the Great” and Ramesses III, victim of a harem plot. Find out about the achievements of the Tanis and Saite kings of the north, the rule of the foreign Pharaohs from Libya, Nubia and Persia, leading up to the arrival of Alexander the Great and the last Pharaonic dynasty – the Ptolemies.
